Role

This is a key technical role that bridges engineering expertise with operational delivery, ensuring that platform lift projects are planned, executed, and completed to the highest safety and quality standards.

Who We are

Gartec started in 1994 and has been at the forefront of the platform lift industry. We are the UK’s leading supplier and installer of platform lifts and continue to provide extensive Platform Lift knowledge, excellent customer service and high-quality products within the commercial, trade and home sectors. Focusing on full turnkey solutions, we offer advice on compliance, accessibility, dimensions, costs, sustainability, design, installation and after-care.

Who are we Looking For

We’re seeking a technically strong, hands‑on professional to support the planning and successful delivery of our platform lift projects. In this role, you’ll coordinate day-to‑day installation activities, prepare and review RAMS, assist with workload planning, and maintain close communication with engineers and contractors. You’ll also provide on-site technical support to ensure every project is completed safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.

You will ideally bring proven experience working with lifts—such as elevators, access lifts, inclined lifts, or vertical platform lifts—alongside excellent organisational and communication skills. Confidence using project‑tracking software and digital reporting tools is essential, as is a collaborative approach and a strong client‑focused mindset.

A full UK driving licence and the flexibility to travel are required. SSSTS/SMSTS Health & Safety qualifications or previous supervisory experience are a valuable advantage, along with experience coordinating subcontractors and liaising with building contractors on active sites. Prior experience in a supervisory or deputy role within lift engineering or construction environments is beneficial, and a Skilled (Blue) CSCS card—or the qualifications needed to obtain one—is also desirable.

Main Responsibilities

Coordinate day‑to‑day technical project activities for platform lift installations, including removal and replacement work.
Act as a key point of contact between office, engineers, clients and contractors to ensure seamless project delivery.
Review project specifications, site surveys, and lift drawings to plan and prepare works effectively.
Produce and review Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) in line with company and legal standards.
Support the Installation Delivery Manager with workload planning, resource allocation, and site progress tracking.
Monitor compliance with health and safety legislation and internal quality standards.
Liaise with engineers, site surveyors and inspectors to ensure project sign‑off and handover.
Provide technical support to engineers on‑site and offer troubleshooting expertise when required.
Maintain accurate project records, reporting on milestones, issues, and outcomes.
